The Washington Capitals will see 73 of their games broadcast on television this upcoming season, including 50 games in high-definition, a record number for the Capitals.

As reported by the Washington Business Journal:

… They will be aired on Comcast SportsNet HDTV. Coverage begins with the October 10 regular season opener at Atlanta.

The following night Comcast will air the team’s home opener against Chicago in high definition as the team raises its 2007-08 Southeast Division championship banner.

“It is fantastic to see Comcast SportsNet offer so many games in HD,” said Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis. “Our TV ratings increased significantly last year, and we look forward to continued growth this season.”
